Commercial Indoor Air Quality

Aire Serv’s local service professionals will identify air quality issues and make recommendations to improve your facility’s air quality as needed. Aire Serv uses the most innovative tools and technologies to create custom commercial air quality solutions that are tailored to your property’s specific needs and budget.

We spend up to 90% of our time indoors, and indoor air can be 2-5 times—even up to 100 times—more polluted than outdoor air. Aire Serv’s custom commercial indoor air quality solutions improve ventilation, regulate humidity and reduce airborne contaminants so occupants in your facility can breathe easier.

A lack of appropriate ventilation is a common culprit behind indoor air quality issues. When air can’t circulate properly, allergens, dust and other pollutants build up inside. Tobacco and vaping products, combustion appliances, carpet/upholstery and excess moisture can all contribute to air quality issues.

Common signs of poor indoor air quality include:

• Lingering, unpleasant odours
• Excess dust buildup, especially around air vents and ducts
• High humidity levels
• Discoloured fabrics and furniture
• Visible mould growth
• Poor ventilation

Consider requesting an indoor air quality test by Aire Serv.

Poor indoor air quality may cause eye and throat irritation, headaches, irritability, fatigue, congestion, nausea, and dizziness. It can also worsen allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues while putting undue stress on the heart and lungs.

How do you know if your facility has indoor air quality issues? Musty odours can be a sign of mould, caused by excess moisture from improper ventilation, high humidity levels, and latent water damage.

Regular HVAC system repair and maintenance reduces the chance of mould developing, but if you are experiencing a mould infestation, it should be addressed with professional removal immediately, as it can cause serious health problems.

You can also look for other common signs of poor indoor air quality, which include:

• Lingering, unpleasant odours
• Excess dust buildup, especially around air vents and ducts
• High humidity levels

When it comes to selecting an air purifier for a commercial building, size really matters. A purifier that’s too small for your space won’t effectively combat indoor air contaminants. Other factors to keep in mind include filter type, operating efficiency, and noise level. Aire Serv professionals can recommend the purifier that’s right for your needs.

Aire Serv’s local pros love to help property managers and owners enjoy numerous benefits when they choose us to help improve indoor air quality. They include:

There are several different types of commercial air purifiers to choose from. Mechanical air filters are perhaps the most basic. They trap contaminants using mesh fibers. So long as you choose a mechanical filter that’s large enough for your space, these systems will take care of most indoor air pollutants. Many businesses opt for HEPA filters, which can help maintain a healthy environment.

Electronic air filters are also a popular choice. Unlike mechanical filters, which often let small particles through, electronic versions use the power of ionization to capture even the tiniest of particles.

UV air purifiers are a good option if your commercial space is prone to mould. UV air purifiers rely on high-frequency ultraviolet irradiation from UV lamps to destroy the cellular material of organic pollutants. Microbacteria and viruses don’t stand a chance against this type of commercial air purifier.

Most commercial spaces can benefit from the addition of a commercial HEPA air purifier. Pay attention to employee health. If people frequently experience headaches or are sneezing, coughing, or nauseous, poor indoor air quality may be to blame. Unpleasant odours, dust buildup, and hot and cold spots may also be red flags.

If you’re feeling uncertain about the air quality in your commercial space, an Aire Serv expert can test the air, conduct a thorough evaluation of your HVAC system, and provide other HVAC services as needed.

An efficient commercial air purification system greatly enhances the environment within your commercial space. For starters, such a system can increase the happiness of your employees and guests. Without dust and dirt particles floating through the air, you’ll all breathe a little easier. Those with asthma and allergies will notice an immediate difference. Air purifiers also help reduce the risk of catching airborne diseases. If you’re aiming for a healthier work environment, a commercial air purifier is a fantastic addition to your space.

When people breathe easier and feel better, their productivity skyrockets. Commercial air purification systems can help people maintain good health and perform better at work. These systems are truly a win-win for employers and employees alike.

Expert commercial air purifier installation means getting the job done right the first time. After walking you through the best models for your business, our Aire Serv expert will get to work installing your new air purifier. If your system requires adjustments, contact us within 60 days, and we’ll return to ensure everything is just right. That’s our Neighbourly Done Right Promise^® in action.

Did you know indoor air can be 2-5 times—even up to 100 times—more polluted than outdoor air? Indoor air quality can be affected by temperature, humidity, ventilation, and invisible toxins. Common pollutants include dust, smoke, mould/mildew, and volatile organic compounds found in cleaning products, pesticides, and fragrances. Often, these pollutants get trapped indoors and settle into carpeting and other soft furnishings, as well as behind walls or under floors with cracks or gaps.

Furthermore, combustion appliances like furnaces, water heaters, and boilers can produce dangerous indoor pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, especially when faulty. Contact your local Aire Serv if you need carbon monoxide detectors for your commercial property.

Aire Serv’s commercial indoor air solutions help address these issues before they affect the health of facility occupants. We offer innovative indoor air quality solutions you can trust to keep the air in your commercial property clean, safe, and healthy.
